MRO Maximo v4 & v5




Due to the fact that all of the files for Maximo Self Service application are 
served from one directory (maximo_installation) by the integrated Tomcat 
server, the files not recognized by Tomcat as needing to be run (*.jsps or 
mapped servlets) are not protected.  Therefore, if one was to call upon a known 
Maximo file name (such as MXServer.properties, they would receive the file just 
like a request for download from any other web server.  This means that 
everything under the maximo_install directory are semi-open to the public.  
This includes stored passwords and database locations in these files.
